 Here you can find pictures of some transmitting sites I have visited. Each site is accompanied with information on broadcasting frequencies in use, pictures of the site and a map.
Transmitting sites are usually built on high mountains in order to get large coverage area. Each transmitting site usually has a high tower or mast on wich transmitting antennas are mounted. There is often ambiguity between the terms tower and mast. Both are used to support telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas. in structural engineering terms, a tower is a self-supporting or cantilevered structure, while a mast is held up by stays or guys. Both towers and masts have limited floor space and are non-building structures, as opposed to regular buildings which have greater floor space for occupancy. The terminology is further confused through misuse. Skyscrapers are often referred to as towers and some towers use the term mast.

 The Schöckl is a 1445 m high mountain about 15 miles north of the Styrian capital Graz. The plateau on the Schöckel offers on clear days outstanding views to the Triglav mountain in Slovenia and to the Sljeme mountain near Zagreb in Croatia. Mount Schöckl is not only a popular hiking destination in summer and autumn. In winter Schockl is an attractive destination for skiing.
The transmitting tower on the Schöckl was build between years 1955 and 1957. Originally it was 74 m high free standing tower but in recent times it was additionally guyed.
